Sri Vishnu Shodashanama Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Vishnu  while undergoing  medication, I shall meditate upon Lord Janardhana while consuming meals, I shall meditate upon Lord Padmanabha before sleep, I shall meditate upon Lord Prajapathi  while undertaking vow of marriage, I shall meditate Lord Chakrapani  in the war field, I shall meditate upon Lord Thrivikrama in the foreign lands, I shall meditate upon Lord Narayana in the death bed, I shall meditate upon Lord Sridhara while in the association of dearest wife, I shall meditate upon Lord Govinda during the occurence of nightmares, I shall meditate upon Lord Madhusoodhana to remove all my sufferings and grief, I shall meditate upon Lord Narasimha while undertaking expedition through the woods, I shall meditate upon Lord Jalashayi during the wild fire, I shall meditate upon Lord Varaha while besieged in the powerful water current, I shall meditate upon Lord Raghunandhana while explore through the mountain peaks and hills,  I shall meditate upon Lord Vamana while set out for journey, I shall meditate upon Lord Madhava before performing any actions.


Whoever recites or listens to the twelve sacred names of supreme Lord Vishnu during the hours of early dawn and dusk would be freed from all the sins, ultimately attain the abode of Lord Vishnu.


Oushadhe Chinthayeth Vishnum Bhojane Cha Janardhanam |
Shayane Padmanabhascha Vivahe Cha Prajapathim ||

Yuddhe Chakradharam Devam Pravase Cha Thrivikramam |
Narayanam Anuthyage Sridharam Priyasangame ||

Dhusswapne Smara Govindam Sangade Madhusoodhanam |
Kanane Narasimhascha Pavake Jalashayinam ||

Jalamadhye Varahascha Parvathe Raghunandhanam |
Gamane Vamanam Chaiva Sarvakaryeshu Madhavam ||

Shodashaithani Namami Pratharuththaya Ya : Paden |
Sarva Papa Vinirmuktho Vishnuloke Maheeyathe ||



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
